"His ability to bump the heavy shit but shun cold-concrete aggression for bright, alcopop-buzzed hyperactivity was what made him exciting," Pitchfork observed. The Gobstopper Records founder's adrenaline-dosed club sounds helped shape the scene being incubated at Boxed (the now-infamous London club-night-turned record label co-founded by Mitchell and his fellow instrumental grime architects Slackk, Logos, and Oil Gang) and continued through Mitchell's Suave EP, an appearance on the genre-defining compilation Grime 2.0, and a collaboration with much-hyped MC Skepta.

By 2013, caught in the crossfire of grime's war dubs, Mitchell countered with a collection of "peace edits." "I couldn’t be bothered to try and compete with everybody who was flinging out dubs, so I tried to do something different with it," he told The Quietus, "and in doing that I deconstructed a lot of famous grime beats – slowed them down, took elements of them and warped them in a way, and took the aggression out of them. I tried to work out what the essence of those tunes was, and pushed them in a new direction." The edits became the seeds of his debut LP, Parallel Memories. Released in 2014 on the adventurous label Planet Mu, the introspective, ambient-leaning album was hailed as a "transformative take on grime" and inspired a crop of up-and-coming producers looking to push grime into new, more innovative terrain. Most recently, Mitchell partnered with UK funky ambassador Katy B on her Honey LP alongside the likes of Craig David, Novelist, Major Lazer, Four Tet, Floating Points, Kaytranada, D Double E.
